Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
Through a long and painful process, I've learned that happiness is an inside job - not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I've become a different and better person - not perfect, but still a work in progress.
Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home... it's your responsibility to love it, or change it.
Leave your ego at the door every morning, and just do some truly great work. Few things will make you feel better than a job brilliantly done.
I recognize that I had a good deal of good luck in my life. I came along at a time when it was pretty easy to get a job in journalism. I went to work at CBS News when I was about 22, and within a year or so was reporting on the air.
I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.
Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised.
The tougher the job, the greater the reward.
We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It's our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.

In the city, we work until quitting time. On the farm, we work until the job is finished.
Everything I've done in my career is a result of growing up in rural Oklahoma, because if I hadn't had the training from Mama and Daddy to work hard, to do what I'm told, to take directions, to mind and to do a good job at anything I set out to do, then I wouldn't be where I am today.
Critics have a job to do. They do not criticise you without reason.
In '57, I got a job at the Blue Angel nightclub, and a gentleman named Ken Welch wrote all my material for me. I lived at a place called the Rehearsal Club that was actually the basis for a play called Stage Door.
You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
I had to get over a Southern accent and go through a lot of obstacles. But I love my job, and I love what I do. If it's something that your parents are pushing you into, it's never going to be rewarding.
It really is an honor if I can be inspirational to a younger singer or person. It means I've done my job.
Whenever things go a bit sour in a job I'm doing, I always tell myself, 'You can do better than this'.
My own experience with being interviewed is mixed. I suppose they're a part of my job, and as I would like readers to connect with my books, I do them.
